[TLS] New Individual Draft: State Graph Cryptographic Protoc ol (SGCP)

Hello TLS WG,

I have submitted an individual Internet draft proposing the *State Graph
Cryptographic Protocol (SGCP):*

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sgcp-state-graph-cryptographic-protocol/

SGCP is a communication-security framework that extends the transport
security model by introducing a cryptographic state graph-a
deterministically derived directed graph in which
each node represents a valid session state (keyed to epoch, sequence
number, and context), and each edge represents a cryptographically
authenticated state transition.

Key properties:
  - Mutual authentication via X.509 certificates
  - Forward-secure key establishment via ECDH / ML-KEM (hybrid PQ)
  - Per-packet unique keys derived from state graph position
  - Continuous context binding (Device-Port-Socket tuple)
  - Epoch-based key rotation with replay protection
  - Cryptographically authenticated state transitions

I believe TLS WG is the appropriate home for this work given its focus on
transport security and key establishment. I welcome any technical feedback
from the community.

Best regards,
Sripad Karthik
